About Gaël

Expert in IT resilience, I act as a Project Recovery Lead for struggling infrastructures and critical projects. With a background combining the rigor of Defense (Thales/NATO context) and the demands of Fintech (Digiteal, BNB/ISO 27001 regulation), I secure your technical deliveries.

My approach is based on three pillars:

  • **Recovery**: Audit, turnaround of drifting projects, and delivery stabilization.

  • **Compliance**: Mediation between legal imperatives (KYC/AML, financial authorizations) and technical realities.

  • **Infrastructure & Ops**: Steering robust systems, high availability management (24/7 SLA), and perimeter security.

As a former teacher and manager, I use my pedagogical skills to facilitate the adoption of digital tools by your business teams (Seniors, Compliance) to transform blockages into operational fluidity.
